<p>You look good so far, but it's a bit early to be worrying about chances yet. Also, when applying, don't put Who's Who, because that company basically exists just to make a quick buck off unsuspecting high school students and has no real influence on admissions. </p>

<p>Good luck with sophomore year! (Oh, and there is a Chances forum).</p>

<p>Nobody can chance at the beginning of sophomore year! My goodness. Things change sooooo much. I mean, you look fine, your PSAT score is great for a freshman, but...you're still, what, 15? Relax a little bit, enjoy sophomore year before things get really hard. </p>

<p>Also, just a heads up, Who's Who is a scam.</p>

4

<p>^ Agreed. Plus this is the wrong forum anyhow.</p>

<p>Ok. Thank you, and yes, I accidentally posted in this forum, I knew there was a chances one.</p>
